homebridge-tuya-platform VS homebridge-tuya

Have you tried the solution in the GitHub issues?

Then, find your corresponding device in this list: https://github.com/0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform/blob/develop_1.7.0/SUPPORTED_DEVICES.md

that's weird I just looked at the docs of the plugin that I'm using and there's a note for "Remember to extend the API trial period" but I opened the project in 2021 and I didn't touched it since, my tuya devices works to this day, but maybe try to follow the plugin's docs

I have a Tuya floor lamp. It worked okay for a while. I'm using the 0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform plugin. Now, it's always showing up as offline. The status log shows this message whenever I hit the switch:

Checkout this https://github.com/0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform plug-in to control Tuya devices

It looks like the milo526 plugin has been superseded by this one, but the author says the API trial period needs to be extended every 6 months. Who knows, they might force paid subscriptions at some point.

There is new plugin for that from another owner, but the same maintainer, that works. https://github.com/0x5e/homebridge-tuya-platform

Use LAN/local network based ones such as this one instead. Local connection also means much faster respond times.

I used github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya but some devices did not work.

So with regards local control using iRayanKhan's plugin. It's not actively supported currently, last update was June 2021. Also, the github page does say it supports fans, but when I try and configure this in homebridge, the pulldown menu to select device type doesn't include fans. I might try and configure via the json.

Here’s the site. Instructions are on the link. Tuya Local

I'm running Homebridge with iRayanKhan's Tuya plugin. https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya

https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya is local and works fine. It doesn’t need updating because it has been solid for a long time and supports the latest features like adaptive lighting.
